Still updating old galleries. Today it's the somewhat forgotten intermediate form of the Beast Wars Boss Monkey, Optimus Primal himself. In his Transmetal form he had a surfboard, which is just about the only thing people tend to remember about him. This was also the form he had during the second season of Beast Wars, which was the best Transformers ever put on TV. Here are the updated pics of this underappreciated figure.

Still updating old galleries. Today it's my very first third party toy ever, the Fansproject City Commander armor for Classics Ultra Magnus. Enjoy the new pics and indulge in some memories.

Ah, Megatron, big bad leader of the Decepticons and mastermind behind all their evil plans. Well, unless he’s playing second banana to the Fallen. Or to Sentinel Prime. Or Lockdown. Or Quintessa. Or remains frozen underneath Hoover Dam. Why are we supposed to be afraid of this guy again? Anyway, for most of the movies Megatron looked like some weird alien jet or tank-thing, but in Dark of the Moon he took the form of a dirty, Mad Max’ed truck. Why? Couldn’t tell you, sorry, but I do say this: he looked really, really cool. And now this very cool-looking Megatron is part of the Studio Series, too.

Generation 2 might have been a failure overall, but it did give us the best Optimus Prime figure of the 20th century: Laser Optimus Prime. And Fans Hobby then went and brought him out in Masterpiece scale. Here is Gun Fighter II. Gallery first, review coming soon.

Remember that Bumblebee guy? You know, star of six live-action movies, most of whom grossed over a billion dollars? Sure you do! But do you also remember how he fought in World War 2 and killed some Nazis? No? Then you are among the lucky few who either managed to avoid the mess that was The Last Knight or managed to purge it from your memory. Anyway, Bumblebee fought in World War 2, though he apparently forgot about it. Hasbro didn’t, though, so now we get a WW2 version of Bumblebee in the Studio Series. Which doesn’t have enough Bumblebees yet, apparently.

Want to see Movie Bee party like it‘s 1944? Well, the Studio Series attempts it, but the result is, eh, mixed. Here is the gallery of WW2 Bumblebee, review comes tomorrow.

Time to bust some Decepti-Chops! I can feel mah circuits sizzle! When you got it, use it! These are just some of the tough-guy phrases Ironhide (pronounced “Arn-hahhhd”) loved to spout in the first two seasons of the original G1 cartoon, making him one of the original cast’s most beloved members. And boy, were we kids disappointed when his original G1 toy looked NOTHING like the character on TV. But now, 35 years later, we’re FINALLY getting a good G1 Ironhide toy.
